I saw someone mention this a while back, don't remember if it was here or not.

I really should get a portable hd instead of buying more CF cards and I was at Penn looking at something else and came across this:

Anyone have a chance to use one? I think they are available up to 120 gigs.

    While the Epson is not what you're looking for, I am using one of the P2000 and
    am happy. I will say that one area I would pay more attention to in the future
    is battery capacity and consumption. The P2K doesn't have that great of a
    battery life.

    I didn't know these Jobos were out yet, as they were only unveiled a week ago. Reichmann had those listed in his PMA show report.

    I'd like to see a full product review, since I need a backup something before Utah.

    Or wait a year for the Microsoft Origami thingamawhatever. lol3.gif

    This is not the New Jobo Giga Vu Pro Evolution I can't find any reviews for the Evolution.

    One option I do really like about it is the ability to zoom in on RAW files, but I'm assuming this will severely drain the battery due to processing.

    Couple other things I like about it are the ability to verify data once copied and I know it's little but it lists battery life and free disk space on the top as a percentage.

    I think it is a viable option but I'll stick with my P-2000 for now.
